FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – As an individual, Carles Gil won just about everything he could’ve won in 2019.
The 27-year-old midfielder took MLS by storm in his first season stateside, racking up 10 goals and 14 assists to secure the league’s Newcomer of the Year award and MLS Best XI honors. At the club level he was named JetBlue Revolution Team MVP (by fan vote), Players’ Player of the Year (by his teammates), and Midnight Riders Man of the Year (by the supporters’ group).
It was, by every metric, a remarkable debut season.
“On a personal level, I thought I had a great year,” Gil said via interpreter on Monday afternoon, almost one year to the day since he joined the Revolution.
